De Tenebris Ad Lucem Psychotherapy

LMFT

“My approach is depth-oriented, active, and collaborative. I integrate psychodynamic therapy, ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy), attachment theory, and trauma-informed care to help you understand not only what you feel, but why certain patterns keep repeating. We pay close attention to emotions, anxiety, defenses, relationship patterns, and the ways earlier experiences may still shape how you relate to yourself and others. Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, therapy aims to uncover and work through the underlying conflicts that keep you stuck. I may challenge avoidance, intellectualization, or other defenses when they interfere with deeper emotional work, while carefully monitoring anxiety so the work remains within your capacity to process it. The goal is greater emotional freedom, self-understanding, and the ability to build relationships that are chosen rather than repeated.”

White Oak Counseling, Inc

LPC

“I take a creative, engaging, and client-centered approach to therapy, with the goal of creating a space that feels both supportive and empowering. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults in navigating trauma, PTSD, major life stage transitions, and career-related changes or uncertainty. As an EMDRIA-trained EMDR therapist, I work with individuals who feel stuck or overwhelmed by past experiences and patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we gently reprocess and “rewire” these experiences so they feel less activating, allowing you to move forward with greater clarity, resilience & peace.”

Tough & Tender Therapy LLC

LPC

“I'm a therapist because life and/or oppressive systems create experiences, biases, and coping skills that don't always reinforce that we matter. Therefore, my role is to support you as you create a meaningful life worth living. My goal is to be a consistent and collaborative support with my clients. Additionally, I value communicating with transparency, kindness and directness. I use a blend of attachment based, trauma-informed, person centered, parts work and somatic lens. The foundation of each structure is based in feminist theory and working towards a decolonial practice.”

Kirkland EMDR Counseling

LICSW, LMHC, LSWAIC

“Our therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, primarily utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. We view therapy as a partnership where we work together at your own pace—never rushing the healing process. While EMDR follows a standard protocol, our therapists uniquely tailor it to your individual human needs. Alongside EMDR, we integrate tailored skills and mindfulness practices to provide you with a comprehensive toolkit. Together, we will explore biological, relational, and systemic barriers to your healing. We focus on helping you soothe and regulate your nervous system, reduce the intensity of negative thoughts, and safely process past trauma so you can confidently hold yourself with compassion in the present and the future.”

About LGBTQ+ Affirming

This page helps you find licensed mental health providers who offer online care for LGBTQ+ clients. Whether you are looking for affirming therapy, support around identity, relationships, family stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, or medication management, telehealth can expand your options beyond the nearest zip code. Online care depends on where a provider is licensed and where you are physically located during sessions, so start by selecting the state or states where you will be during appointments. Then narrow your results with filters like service type, therapy modality, language, age group, and insurance.

Before you book

  • Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
  • Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
  • Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy for LGBTQ+ Support

How do I use this page to find an online provider for LGBTQ+ support?

Start by choosing the state or states where you will be physically located during sessions. Then use filters to narrow the list by service type, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and more. Read provider profiles to see whether they mention LGBTQ+ affirming care, experience with your concerns, and the kinds of virtual services they offer. That makes it easier to compare options and choose a good fit.

What should I ask before booking?

Ask whether the provider has experience working with LGBTQ+ clients and whether they support the issues you want help with, such as identity exploration, coming out, relationships, family conflict, trauma, anxiety, depression, or gender-affirming support. You can also ask about scheduling, fees, insurance, session format, and what first appointments are like. A short consultation can help you decide whether the provider feels affirming, practical, and easy to talk to.

Does my online therapist have to live in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?

Your therapist does not usually need to live in your state, but they generally need to be licensed for the state where you are physically located during the appointment. That is why your location during each session matters. If you travel or split time between states, check whether the provider can legally continue care. You can also look for providers who are licensed in more than one state here: https://therapyexpanded.com/find-a-therapist-licensed-in-multiple-states.

Does insurance cover online therapy for LGBTQ+ support, and how does payment usually work?

Many providers accept insurance for online therapy, but coverage depends on your plan, the provider, and the service you receive. Some providers are in-network, while others provide superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Before booking, check the provider’s profile for insurance details, session fees, and payment policies. It is also smart to confirm telehealth mental health benefits directly with your insurance company so you know what to expect.

What technology or privacy setup do I need for virtual sessions?

Most online therapy appointments work best in a private place with a reliable internet connection. A computer or laptop is often ideal, though a phone or tablet may also work depending on the provider and platform. Many sessions happen by video, but some providers may also use phone calls, secure messaging, texting, or email depending on the service. Providers may have their own policies about session location and privacy, so check ahead if that may be an issue.

What types of telehealth services are available for LGBTQ+ support?

Available services may include individual therapy for one-on-one support, couples counseling for relationship concerns, family therapy for family conflict or communication, group therapy for shared support, child or teen therapy for younger clients, and medication management when medication is part of care. Use the service filters to find providers who offer the format you want.

When is online therapy for LGBTQ+ support not the right choice?

Online therapy may not be the best fit during an immediate crisis, when emergency support is needed, when a higher level of care is required, or when you do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. It may also be harder if you need in-person services or frequent hands-on support. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.

Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
